The service is available for use Monday-Friday, from 6 a.m.-8 p.m., only within Montbello, a neighborhood Jiner says is often left behind. 'It's a necessary service that we need in our community, especially since we are a veteran community,' she said. Pam Jiner, executive director of Montbell Walks, says the response from the senior community has been really positive. Hitching a ride is as simple as calling 72 or you can request a ride on the Montbello Connector app, which can be found on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. 'We have folks in the neighborhood who are a little bit older who we think could benefit from the service get a ride to maybe medical appointments or their local store.' 'We looked at different neighborhoods, and we felt that this service could fill a need in the neighborhood,' Nancy Kuhn, DOTI's director of public information, said. The pilot program, using three vehicles, will get people to and from their destinations within Montbello, including the Peoria station, like Uber and Lyft do - except Montbello Connector is free. We are creating greater mobility, and we are combating climate change at the same time,' Denver Mayor Michael B. The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure unveiled Montbello Connector on Saturday at the Montbello Recreation Center.
DENVER - A new way to get around Denver's Montbello neighborhood is now a reality.
